    Hi,

     

    yes, the msmdsrv.ini containing this setting is there, but it is explicitely stated to NOT change this file but the other one that doesn`t contain the setting:

     

    But: I just tried to add the <ExternalCommandTimeout> to the "outer" msmdsrv.ini (it´s not there initially, this is why i assumed that i cannot set it there) and set it to desired value, and on restart my changed setting also appears in the "inner" (rewritten on start of service) file.

     

    So now i just have to see if this does any good...

     

    I definitely was not talking about changing the "inner" Workspace file. As stated in the docs that gets overwritten each time the service restarts.

     

    My "outer" file already has "<ExternalCommandTimeout>" so I'm not sure why your's does not. But copying this setting to the "outer" file should work fine as long as it appears under the correct parent element.

     

    The fact that this setting was missing in your environment would explain why you were seeing the default value of 3600 seconds being applied.
